I noticed Grizz had not posted for a while (over a month) which is not like him at all.
I pm’d him a few days ago but not had a reply, just hoping he’s all ok. Anyone keep in touch with him in alternative ways & can clarify he’s all good. I do hope so
cheers.

He left since Hardcore once again explained him the "house rules". He is on autoshite now, all seems ok from what he posts there.

That’s such a shame, probably the most prolific poster we had I’d guess & a sound bloke. I obviously missed the thread it seemed to circle around. I’ve just looked back through & still can’t seem to find what was said (so maybe it’s deleted) |

Just read through it, still not sure what he did that deserved a reprimanding, other than in one post he mentioned some jerky or sumat, hardly seems worth making a mention of in my book, but hey ho, big loss to the forum is all I see

Grizz is (was) a big part of this forum (that doesn't mean he was bigger THAN this forum) and it's a lesser place without him. Would it not be appropriate to extend the proverbial 'olive branch' on this occasion ?

Now I didn't do the asking to keep it cars in that particular thread, however I don't think it is too much to ask to treat this forum with the respect that others do. If it isn't for him, that's fine, it is a big internet and there are other forums that don't have the same focus and rules we do. It costs nothing to visit the very excellent autoshite to keep up with what he is up to. It is kind of the beauty of the web, find your place and if it isn't your place eventually for whatever reason, there are other places. |

I must be missing something. I can think of at least 2 or 3 fantastic, lengthy threads on here that regularly include barely any car talk for pages on end but Grizz goes slightly off-piste for one or two posts and that's it. Cake anyone?

I really didn't/don't want to get into this, but... Grizz is as welcome here as anyone else. The rules are few & simple.
Prolific poster, yes, but also the most reported & warned by an absolute mile. Please don't be thinking this is about the tiny number of posts to which there were public responses from us.

It’s you’re world, you do what you like (clearly) I personally (& pretty sure I’m by no means alone here) think you’ve just made it a lesser place to hang out. Just my opinion, of course.

See, this is where you're completely and utterly wrong. The rules haven't changed. WE have not "made it a lesser place to hang out" because WE haven't done or changed anything. If your opinion is that Grizz has made it a lesser place for you by deciding not to post here for a while, then feel free to take that up with him.

I have to say, that really is the most ‘sloping shoulders’ comment ever. As I said I think many WILL disagree |

I have to say, that really is the most ‘sloping shoulders’ comment ever. As I said I think many WILL disagree I'm really not sure what you're accusing me of, but anyway.. No slopey shoulders. I take full responsibility for requesting all users, prolific or otherwise, follow the same basic rules. |

Okay I know it is unfair to comment on locked posts, and I don't want to follow this up in pm's, I've got enough to do at the moment as it is. I just want to clarify something very important that people often forget or maybe don't realise. As I said I think many WILL disagree You are right, there are a whole bunch of people that will be disappointed that Grizz no longer posts here, but there are other places to read his stuff, same as there is for a whole host of big personalities that decided over the years to exit stage left, from grumpynortherner (now over at brm-forum), Bruce/Mysterymachine (now a wild man of the woods somewhere in Wales), Team Blitz, and a host of others that I have definitely forgotten now. They all left a hole for some people. However for every person that is sad they are not around there are others who believe this place is better for it. For some I agree, for others I don't, and that is the personal nature of what entertains us. I will say this though, in the entire history of the forum there is no one with more reported posts/threads than Grizz. So whilst there is certainly a cohort of people who were very keen on what he was about, there was also a fairly sizable cohort that was not (and apparently couldn't heed my advice to just not read his stuff). This is the nature of larger communities with large personalities, and as is inevitable this happens. Anyway this is done, please don't pm me about it I've got real life stuff going on right now that means I'm not going to engage with you. You all know where to find his content, hopefully you enjoy reading it on AS. |
